We work to improve the experience and delivery of healthcare for Aboriginal people with chronic conditions in NSW.
To achieve this, we support evidence-based reform by promoting and implementing new initiatives, frameworks and models of care. We enhance and support the integration of care for Aboriginal communities accessing healthcare services in NSW.
We collaborate to respond to priorities identified by Network members and key stakeholders.
About the artwork
We commissioned this artwork to visually represent the Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing Network identity and purpose.
The artwork incorporates the critical importance of Aboriginal governance and decision making; collaborative partnerships; and leadership across the diverse Aboriginal Health sectors that exist within NSW. This includes NSW Health, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and other key stakeholders.
The artwork signifies the complex interrelations of health in our communities. Health is not something that can be addressed in isolation or as an individual. This artwork represents the connection between individual health and the health of our communities, culture and spirit.
From top to bottom, the artwork includes elements of:
- transience and tradition
- solidarity
- inclusion and community, with the circles connecting people to place.
The lower half of the artwork symbolises:
- building trust
- valuing community and our stories
- working in collaboration
- acknowledging our culture and social values.
All these elements underpin the work of addressing Aboriginal health disparities and the need to work together to improve health outcomes across the spectrum.
